Archival Pigment Print

The collage submitted comes from the series, “Reconciliation”, inspired by the artist’s recent return home to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia after fifteen years away. The series is a meditation on the atemporal, equivocal nature of memory and how the present is parsed through the frame of the past. “Entwine” incorporates photographs taken while traveling in India, where the artist’s father is originally from, paired with images from the artist's life in the US.

Each collage is created by physically manipulating and juxtaposing the artist’s personal photographs. The collages are hand-cut and glued, digitally adjusted, enlarged, and printed to produce the final image.
